YMCA Swim Instructor Course Application Form

Please apply to this form if you are interested in taking our YMCA Swim Instructor course! All applications will be considered. Successful applicants will be waitlisted until enough candidates are available to take the course, at which point you will be contacted by email to confirm if you are still interested in enrolling.

While waiting for a course to be scheduled, successful applicants have the option to volunteer as an assistant swim instructor. This provides great experience under the guidance of a certified instructor prior to the course, and allows applicants to engage with our YMCA staff team.

Those who are successful in the course have the opportunity to secure employment as a YMCA Swim Instructor with us here at the YMCA Fredericton. Please state on your application if you are interested in joining our team!

We thank you for taking the time to apply!
